Things to Do on St. John, Virgin Islands

Snorkel, hike, sail and eat your way around a small island.

A good St. John day often combines all three of the island’s strengths: a morning hike while it is cool, a long swim and snorkel at a North Shore beach, and dinner in Cruz Bay or Coral Bay. Boat trips fill in the rest, from half-day snorkel sails to full days circling the island.
